Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 1
————————————————-
I remember a very interesting scene from a film, seen long back on Doordarshan, whose name I am not able to recall right now. The scene is in a moving train. I think it is a Kishore Kumar film, but not very sure. A person is selling ‘barfi’ in the train. (‘Barfi’ is an Indian sweet made from milk and sugar). He is carrying a tray full of barfi pieces, and is trying to catch the attention of the travelers, to sell and to earn. He is not having much success. He comes in front of Kishore Kumar, and a dialogue ensues. Kishore asks him why should I buy this barfi from you. The seller gives some very simple answers like it is good to eat and he needs to earn money. Kishore tells him he will never be able to make a sale with such kind of answers. Then he offers to make the sales pitch for him. He conjures up a funny and interesting jingle about the barfi on the spot, and tries to catch the attention of fellow travellers, singing the jingle he has just created. Of course he is able to make a lot more sales. The seller is very impressed, and the two strike a friendship that lasts through the film.

Mohammed Rafi : The incomparable – Song No. 01
—————————————————
I think it is time to go back to the pavillion, meaning my comfort zone. Or I should say my favourite comfort zone of Rafi songs. I have been ‘ beating about the bush ‘ for the last one year and writing posts of various series. ‘Chandni raaten’ is still going on, as far as I know. Some songs are lined up for it, but I have not been able to find enough enthusiasm to write a post for some time. So no more ‘beating around the bush’ (this idiom is closer to what I mean by it), going straight to the matter of ‘Mohammed Rafi: The incomparable”

The vast ocean of the Hindi film songs contains innumerable gems that lie hidden from the eyes, in the depths. These gems, overshadowed by the waves of the popular melodies, more often than not, are even more endearing and more heartwarming than the popular tunes that capture the attention of the listening public. And it is the true connoisseurs of this art that will delve into the deep to search out such gems. It is these connoisseurs that value the sounds of the voices such as Suman Kalyanpur.
Greetings and best wishes to Suman Kalyanpur ji, on her birth anniversary (28th January).
